friends, power

yesterday night, CK Ng called me and said,
"hey, there's somewhat a chance that Daryl Zeng's coming online;
wanna give it go for the last time?"

though things failed badly,
the coup failed, the leader chickened out;
but CK Ng never failed me.
as always, he tried all his best to render help towards me.
i guess that is what i call friend;
being there for you when you need them.

i kept thinking of how friday have been an awesome day.
not only i see the true facets of people,
gained support, understand who are my true friends;
i think, i somewhat reconcile with another friend,
who i had a dispute with weeks ago.

it's kinda amazing to see that this friend could cool down so fast;
usually it takes quite a long time though.
like, one month?
and this friend somewhat reassured me that we're friends, always.

i guess a true bond is so much more precious than anything.

even more than a piece of cloth,
my dear, koh chin, kenneth and joel.

that happiness is still in my heart.
happy that i knew i had so many friends supporting me;
having know that those cadets in which i reformed swore absolute loyalty to me.

i always wondered what does the word, 'Power' defines and meant.
i always thought that power is something like this:
you're a head of a certain organisation,
you have the most say, you're the highest in hierarchy;
and you reigns supreme among all the other people.

when i was firstly recruited into NCC,
power seems to relate with the USM so much.

but now, i can say that the definition above is so damn wrong.

i guess power is the ability to garner support among people,
having people to listen to you,
in which you have a certain influence over them;
power is being able to have people that are truthful and loyal to you,
in which they will die for you under any circumstances.

i guess what i long wanted in NCC,
is finally here!

but at a second thought,
having all these or not,
it does not matter anymore.

really, they say things could change people,
and things could teach something in which is very important.
this time, not only i've seen the true faces of those people;
i learn how to cherish them.

friends are just like stars.
at time you might not be able to see them;
but they are shining all the time for you,
just like stars above the skies.
